About Us

We are the soul of a newspaper. Not just any newspaper. We are the soul of the Toronto Sun from back in the day when it was the tabloid everyone in Toronto talked about. We are the people who helped make it happen. Sadly, most of us are long gone from the Sun. Many are now deceased. But when we were all a part of the Sun, as it was, it was a vibrant, kick ass paper that captured the impossible dream.

It all started when veteran Sun photog Stan Behal suggested to former staffers Pauline Comeau and Bill Sandford: "Why don't we get a few people together for some drinks."

Pauline spearheaded the challenge to contact all former and current Sun staffers to ask them to assemble Nov. 18, 2006, at the posh Dominion Club at the corner of King and Yonge Streets.

Assemble we did - more than 150 familiar faces from 35 years of Sun days in various departments - for a five-hour journey down memory lane. From former staffer Ray Biggart, the Sun's first city editor, to several Day Oners still on the job: Andy Donato, John Downing andChristina Blizzard, and other current employees, Lorrie Goldstein, Sam Pazzano, Rob Lamberti, Veronica Henri, Michael Peake, Stan Behal etc.

There were a lot of memories in that room and the seed that gave birth to this Toronto Sun Family blog.

The Toronto Sun Family: 1971 - 2016

Current and former Sun Media employees, this blog is for you. We'd like to hear your feelings about the Sun, pro or con, your experiences and if no longer with Sun Media, what you are doing today. There is no "I" in Toronto Sun Family. Just "we."
